AQUAMAN is directed by James Wan, based on the DC Comics character from creators Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger with a release set for 12/21!

AQUAMAN Conquers Land And Sea In The Official Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

Warner Bros. went two-for-two this weekend with at least two of its properties at SDCC 2018, one of them being the latest trailer premiere for James Wan’s new adaptation, Aquaman. The DCEU hasn’t been easy for the studio to attain a pulse for in bringing a consensus from DC fans, some of whom still may keen on seeing actor Jason Momoa don the role after Justice League. The good news is that the role still suits him more than adequately. From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is […]

FIVE-A-DAY ROUND-UP XIV: Aquaman, Deadpool 2, Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Alpha

Lee B. Golden III

I haven’t seen Justice League yet but I heard it was another mixed bag for some fans. Going forward, Warner Bros. still has a stake in the DCEU and will be ramping up efforts to promote James Wan’s own contribution, Aquaman, to the masses ahead of its December 21, 2018 release with Jason Momoa reprising as the Atlantean king now forced to deal with internal woes of his own Kingdom while fighting to preserve peace with people on land. I’ll see Justice League soon enough to garner an opinion here. Beyond that, let’s hope it’s not too late for the studio to pull itself together on this. A quick Google search reveals that Deadpool 2 is actually supposed to have a much less generic title…unless it’s Deadpool 2 then I really have no complaints and Fox shouldn’t really overkill on this one. Ryan Reynolds is back as well as select […]

AQUAMAN Adds ‘Power Rangers’ Actor Ludi Lin

Lee B. Golden III

Lionsgate/Saban I’m of the opinion that something terribly needs to be done about the whole Power Rangers movie-not-getting-a-sequel thing. It bowed recently in China to the tune of $1.2 million dollar which apparently hasn’t helped it to top its current global box office gross enough for a follow-up, and I generally enjoyed the film here in the U.S. during its run. It also gave actor Ludi Lin a prominent Hollywood role and I certainly hoped it wouldn’t be his last. Alas, he’s reportedly been cast in Warner Bros. latest production of DCEU comic book adaptation, Aquaman, in the role of Murk, leader of the Atlantean army and most trusted ally to our title hero played by Jason Momoa. Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen, and Temuera Morrison co-star with James Wan directing for a December 21, 2018 release. In the meantime, part of me […]

AQUAMAN Begins His Own Solo Battle To Fight For Earth As Production Begins

Lee B. Golden III

Say what you will about the most recent Justice League trailer; Warner Bros. Pictures’s latest ensemble DCU succession still may need sharpening but there’s no question that one of the biggest selling factors has been actor Jason Momoa in the role of 75-year long celebrated DC character, Aquaman. Thus, per the studio’s teetering, albeit cohesive efforts to hold together something true and gold for comic book fans and moviegoers, the official solo branch-out for the acclaimed ruler of Atlantis and protector of Earth has begun principal photography under helmer James Wan (“The Conjuring” films, “Furious 7”). Plot details are pretty much as good as Googleable at this juncture as they are not included in Wednesday’s presser. The cast so far confirms the rest of the roster as follows: Amber Heard (“Justice League,” “Magic Mike XXL”) as Mera; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (“Platoon,” “Spider-Man 2”) as Vulko; Temuera Morrison (“Star Wars: […]

Dolph Lundgren Nabs AQUAMAN Role

Lee B. Golden III

Action star Dolph Lundgren’s return to the big screen is probably one of the biggest news bits to arrive this week, and as of Wednesday with director James Wan set to begin production in Australia this May for Aquaman. The Jason Momoa starrer will see Lundgren starring as King Nereus of the aquatic kingdom of Xebel who stands as a romantic rival in competition for the affections of our title hero’s love interest, Mera, played by Amber Heard. Rounding out the cast are Nicole Kidman as Aquaman’s mother, Aquaman’s antagonist half-brother, Orm played by Patrick Wilson as Orm, Willem Dafoe in the supporting role of Dr. Vulko, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the villainous Black Manta, with Temuera Morrison starring as Aquaman’s father. The DC Comics adaptation from Warner Bros. Pictures is slated for release on December 21, 2018 following the character’s ensemble outing in Zack Snyder’s Justice League this […]

Netflix’s THE GET DOWN Co-Star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Joins AQUAMAN As The Villain

Lee B. Golden III

First off, if you haven’t been to Netflix and tuned in to watch The Get Down, I honestly don’t know what it is you do with life. You’ve failed at life and you desperately need some redemption as it’s one of the best coming-of-age dramas to date with some of the best performances by far. One such comes from actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II who plays one of the more seedy characters of the show and before long, the Sidney Hall co-star will be returning to the big screen for Bawaytch alongside Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron this summer before appearing in The Greatest Showman this December with Hugh Jackman. In the meantime, you can also tack the role of supervillain to Abdul-Mateen II’s credentials as per the latest trade news confirming his role as Black Manta in James Wan’s Aquaman for Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment. The news is […]

DCU Fate Uncertain With Grahame-Smith Leaving THE FLASH

Lee B. Golden III

Word has it that things are in a little bit of upheaval at Warner Bros. where it’s being reported that Seth Grahame-Smith has left The Flash citing “creative differences”. BirthMoviesDeath reported the news along with word that The Conjuring 2 helmer James Wan may well leave Aquaman following his attachment nearly a year ago in the wake of the billion dollar success that was Furious Seven. The updates come on the heels of the latest box office results of director Zack Snyder’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice which has grossed $860 million globally. Box office figures be damned, however, that didn’t slow down the mixed-bag of reviews that have reportedly thrown the studio off of its axis with Snyder already in progress with filming for the first of two Justice League films opening in 2017 and 2019. The Flash, apart from its current TV run with a different actor, […]

[UPDATED] James Wan Confirmed To Direct AQUAMAN And ROBOTECH!

Lee B. Golden III

April was a great month to be director James Wan following the global success of his contribution to Universal Pictures’s Furious Seven. It led him to some amazing prospects, specifically the current live-action development of Warner Bros. DC Comics property, Aquaman, and Sony’s handling of the long-awaited Robotech, while Wan himself stays the course for his upcoming Conjuring sequel. As of this week, it appears those prospects are even more affirmed with news from THR’s Heat Vision blog that the director has officially signed on to both projects, the former which will go onto release on July 7, 2018. Actor Jason Momoa will take the reigns for the title character with a script by Kurt Johnstad based on the classic DC Comics underwater superhero created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris in 1941, following his expected appearance in Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice on March 25, 2016. For the […]

Will James Wan Direct AQUAMAN For Warner Bros.?

Lee B. Golden III

July 7, 2018 is the date set for Warner Bros. to unveil its forthcoming take on Aquaman in theaters for which actor Jason Momoa is officially starring in. Plotwise, not much is known about how the film, based on the classic DC Comics character created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris in 1941, will follow its title character’s expected appearance in next year’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, but currently things may be picking up a bit in terms of who will direct. In lieu of this, the current box-office success being had by Furious Seven has undoubtedly left a mark for its director, James Wan who is currently developing a sequel to his 2013 horror flick, The Conjuring. Of course, now that his recent effort in Universal Pictures’ Fast franchise is doing so well, he has an option to return for another which won’t be filming any time […]

Jason Momoa Rules In A New AQUAMAN Photo By Zack Snyder

Lee B. Golden III

While director Zack Snyder‘s twitter account continues to be a source of major fandom for the upcoming March 25, 2016 release of Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, a new photo is now going viral presenting actor Jason Momoa as the King Of The Seven Seas himself, Aquaman. Momoa was finally confirmed for the role last summer after months and months of fleeting press coverage denying his involvement with Warner Bros’s DC Movie slate. The pic’s virility has already generated a massive response from fans, though there are a few folks who still have their opinions on why he doesn’t look like his usual comic book self… Seriously, some people are just silly. There is only one true King. #unitetheseven pic.twitter.com/RDFG8jbuI6 — ZackSnyder (@ZackSnyder) February 20, 2015 Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice is the first of a new slate of films expected to arrive between now and 2020 as […]

Warner Bros. Annonces Its Six-Year Slate Of DC Universe Films

Lee B. Golden III

Marvel muscled up its repetoire on Tuesday with a new addition to its comic book line to possibly accompany its third impending installment of Captain America 3, essentially opening the door to a new phase in their cinematic universe. This comes as DC Entertainment and Warner Bros have been aiming to go neck-and-neck with their current focus on director Zack Synder’s Batman V. Superman: The Dawn Of Justice, following their blockbuster success with Man Of Steel last year, in addition to the development of other properties for film. Well, the competition is now beefing up this week in the months since Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment listed at least nine or ten more movies in an announcement this summer prior to San Diego Comic-Con. Moreover, it is also worth noting that considering the electrifying response that ensued with the exclusive Comic-Con teaser for BvS: DoJ, clearly WB and DC are […]

Jason Momoa Could Be Playing AQUAMAN In BATMAN V. SUPERMAN…Just Sayin.

Lee B. Golden III

There are a lot of rumors that continue to swarm the internet, especially when it comes to movies. A lot of it is fan-induced static that turns out to be hype cheese, but the rest of it still leaves a lot to the imagination, and that includes previous mentions of actor Jason Momoa for a role in director Zack Snyder‘s new film, Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. For the most part, the Game Of Thrones and Conan actor has been quite vocal about denying the issue to the point of expressing his irritation, even as Warner Bros. has yet to release an official statement. However, it seems that one reason or another, HitFix is able to confirm the actor will, at the very least, get a cameo role as Aquaman in Snyder‘s new film, a move which could reflect on the events of last year’s Man Of Steel regarding […]
